Thummanoon explained the city’s election process, mayoral term, council makeup and legal structure. He also reviewed population and tourist figures, main industries, the education system and community structure.

After the lecture, Thummanoon led the group to the Pattaya City Council hall to observe its workings before their mid-day departure.

Student Satreerat Khaekpong, 20, said she was impressed and has learned a lot about administration she can use during the course.
